We're playing a bunch of new songs live on WRIR 97.3 Friday Apr 30th on the What The Fontaine! show between 9-11 pm plus there will be an interview with yours truly (i.e. me) and I'll be playing some music that's influenced the band as well... so tune in and see if flop sweat is audible over the air waves.

Click the WRIR link to listen live or check the What The Fontaine! link in a few days for a podcast of the show.

In other news we're jumping on a show monday May 3rd at Strange Matter (aka Twisters, aka Nanci Raygun, aka the place you once drank underage)with the mighty Buck Gooter and the always awesome Spiritfingers. Probably get rolling around 10.

Also Silver Persinger recorded the entire show on video which you can check out here along with Buck Gooter and The Gilmore Guys performances or if you'd prefer an MP3 of the show he posted that here. Thanks for capturing these cherished memories, fellas!

LMV show 2/26/10

2010-02-20T11:07:00.001-08:00

La Mere Vipere is playing Friday Feb 26 at The Triple to commemorate the completion of our album Final Audit of Mammon. Branden Whittaker has amicalbly left the drum seat and we wish him all the best. Alex Tomlin is rejoining the band and this will be his first show back so look forward to the "Tomlin Bros. Precision Killing" rhythm section making its reappearance (for the record that's my nickname for them, they think it's stupid). We'll be giving away CDRs of the album for free cuz we're nice like that.

So if that's not enough to get you to come (and I imagine it's not) our beloved Buck Gooter will be there playing some new material off their awesome new album Dogfood Towers (a band not to be missed) AND this show will mark the live debut of The Gilmore Guys, which is the new incarnation of the much missed Bunny Rabbits featuring my personal guitar hero Matt Bell of Spiritfingers.

Thanks to Tim Sinclair for the great flyer and Danny Ingram for setting up the show. I've always wondered what a snakeskin Venus de Milo would luck like... only Axel Rose and Liberace have seen the real one

Here's the video for First Command from by Jeff Roll via Warped Theory Productions. Marvel at the spellbinding performances, dramatic angles, disgusting amputations, confused quasi-political jargon (courtesy of yours truly, and people drinking and turning into monsters.

Here at long last is our first full length Final Audit of Mammon. After a year that included line-up changes, Chris Conrad breaking his finger, and the usual paralyzing ennui we finally managed to get it all together for you. The album is free because we feel that CDs are redundant, LPs are prohibitively expensive (for us), and we want as many people as possible to have access to it. If you are so inclined please copy and share the album or post it on yr own blog via the mediafire link. Thanks for taking the time to listen and we hope that you enjoy! (and thanks to Jason Hodges for all his help fixing the download problems)

tracklist:

1. Second Testament
2. Translucent Skull
3. Narcotic Feather
4. Vichy
5. Synthetic Muslim
6. Bloodless Pharaoh
7. Gallows Cheats
8. First Command
9. Survivor's Guilt
10. Omar

Includes album art and lyrics
